We have it from good authority that the PYC float launching may be Saturday, May 8. The waterfront crew is good, no, the GOAT, but most likely the fleet will be unable to use the facilities that weekend. Discussions have not begun with our friends at HBS but one might assume the Fleet Launch might occur the next Saturday, May 15^th. Tides are low at 0816 so maybe we’ll drag our feet a bit, let the 24 crowd start first with our first splash after 0900. A second thought is we launch by age so the Heritage fleet goes first? Stay tuned!

2020-21 Etchells Biscayne Bay Series schedule and dates:

***COVID 19 Update 1/4/21***
The BBYC Flag and Board met last Thursday and due to the COVID situation in Florida we have decided to cancel the Piana Cup and Sid Doren. We have also decided to reschedule the FL States to March 27-28 and the Midwinters to April 16-18.

Good morning and Happy New Year to my Etchells friends,

Last month a group of scrounging packrats/pirates had the opportunity to purchase any and all portions of an old Etchells before she met her final demise at the jaws of a schreder.  We worked two days stripping everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, from this boat.  After cleaning and sorting, these parts were offered to our newest members of old boats and several pieces have found new homes.

SALE PENDING!… Doug and Jeff just purchased Etchells #1260, so #1103 is for sale. Follow this link to the listing in Forums.

Hello Etchells sailors,

Your Fleet Captain is emptying out the warehouse before the big transition to your new Fleet Officers next week.  We have accumulated some nice items from past Lobster Bowls and proceeds from our sail sale leftovers which were traded for merchandise at Sea Bags that we would love to pass along to you.  The Holidays will be upon us before we know it and these clean, unworn, and unused items would be perfect for your family, friends, and crew. 

The upcoming Fleet 27 Fall meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, at 5:00. It will be held online using Zoom. Your invite shall be coming to you soon.

The agenda for the meeting is:

Good afternoon skippers/owners of Fleet 27,
